We are authorised to contradict, in the most posi tive manner, all the ridiculous statements which have from time to time appeared in the public papers respecting va rious speculations in omnibuses and stage coaches to Bou logne, said to have been entered into by Lord Henry Sey mour, as well as the equally unfounded assertions so confi dently made of exhibitions of his Lordship's equipage, &c., on the Boulevards during the carnival, his Lordship never having, during his existence, entered into any speculations, commercial or otherwise, whatsoever ; nor has any carriage or vehicle of any description belonging to his Lordship ever once appeared at a carnival. Had his Lordship not been annoyed by daily applications from numerous individuals, misled by the above absurd reports (no doubt meant as clever jokes), he would not have wished us to contradict them.—Galignani.

GEORGE ROBINS IN EXETER.—A large number of country gentlem en a tt en d e d a t th e N ew London . - Inn in this city on Saturday last, in consequence of the announcement that the renowned Prince of Auctioneers, Mr. George Robins, would knock down some extensive landed property in this county. The shrewd and facetious knight of the hammer, on making his appearance, was eyed with much curiosity by many of the wondering spectators, and, on mounting his rostrum, provoked a smile of satisfac tion from every one, by his exceedingly humourous and good-natured countenance. He commenced operations with (for him) a small property, known as " Warren House," near Dawlish, which, having duly described, as per instructions, he disposed of at a good price, namely 1,650/. He then proceeded to enlarge on the beauties and valu able qualities of the Coombsatchfield-house estate, in the course of which he administered comfort to the landowners and farmers, by assuring them that every thing in the agri cultural line was " looking up,' and that they would, in a very short time, if they were not already, be themselve3 again ! He declared that such was the rise in the value of land, and such the eagerness of capitalists to possess themselves of good estates, that he had sold Sir F. Good ricke's estate in Yorkshire at the rate of 33,i years purchase, and that he was assured, if gentlemen lost the present oppor tunity, it would be some time before they would be enabled to obtain another such estate in this county as that of Coomb satchfield. Mr. George Robins displayed considerable tact and an unbounded flow of ready and pungent wit, much to the amusement of the audience, introducing a good share of compliment upon the healthy climate and other desirable qualities of our far-famed Devon, whither, when he could make two or three hundred a years a retiring pension, he assured them he had determined'arome, and sit in his easy chair to the end of his days! He took occasion, too, to disabuse the landed proprietors of Devonshire of the erro neous notion that had got abroad, as to the enormous ex pense of having him down from London to view estates before the time of sale—his charges, he said, were very moderate, and the advantage of his examining places, to give the best description of them, must be obvious. He sup posed the erroneous . notion all u d e d to h a d prevente d hi s being requested to view the C oom b satchf i eld Estate b e f ore he came down to sell it, owi ng t o w hi ch he was not able to give that dessription he could h ave w i s h e d . T he biddi ng w ent on with good spirit, and having exhausted all Ilia powers of persuasion to obtain another " hundred," Mr. Robins knocked down the Estate, for Nineteen Thousand Five Hundred Guineas, to Mr. Wright, of Tiverton, for the Hon. Capt. Wyndham. We hear the price obtained was far beyond that fixed by the owner.---IVooliner's Exeter and Plymouth Gazette. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, IS3rr. labours have been to a very great extent successful, and gratitude, the proverbial virtue of Irishmen, demands a recognition of the important benefits which his splendid ta lents have been the means of procuring for Ireland. We have at this moment a Reforming Government, whose chief bond of union and claim to the confidence of the United Kingdom, is a principle inculcated by Dr. Doyle many years ago. For he it was who first showed the necessity of "appropriating" the excess of the Church Establishment in Ireland to national purposes. He not only showed the necessity, but he demonstrated the legality of such a principle in his celebrated letter to Spring Rice in 1831 "on a provision for the Irish poor." And though the present Ministry have not literally adopted his sug gestion, by endeavouring, in their ecclesiastical legisla tion, to allocate whatever surplus of tithe income may be hereafter available, to the poor—they have done so in prin ciple, when they proposed to " appropriate" it to the edu cation of the people. But, this is not th e on l y po i nt o f view in whi c h h e may b e regarded as a benefactor. His evidence before different Committees of Parliament, and his writings, abound with maxims and lessons of political wisdom, which the more enlightened statesmen of every party have been adopting, as suited to the exigencies by which they have been pressed. He is generally regarded as the promoter of " passive resistance" to the payment of tithes. But he did not inculcate this doctrine among the dissenters from the Established Church, before Mr. Goulburn had ren dered it to a certain extent legal, by his Tithe Act of 1823. In that Act Quakers are indemnified against any costs which their non-payment of tithe composition might seem to entail on them. Dr. Doyle thought, that as Quakers did not dissent more widely from the Church Establishment than do Roman Catholics, the latter might reasonably expect the same indulgence from the legislation which, at Mr. Goul burn's instance, the former had received. In this opinion every honest and intelligent man in the empire coincides ; as well as in the other opinions which the Rev. Prelate has circulated respecting the only honest, safe, and equitable mode of governing this country. Lord Wharncliffe has attested this the other day at the Tory dinner in Halifax, when he declared that it was unreasonable to expect Dis senters to support an Establishment from which they derived no benefit. When, therefore, we find rational men of every party approximating so much in their views as to Ireland, why is not an effort made to unite them in policy ? Why does not More O'Ferrall, and other talented men, seize upon such incidents as are calculated to develope the honesty and soundness of the principles on which he and his colleagues are now proceedin g ? Th e occas i on o f commemorating Dr. Doyle's services to his country, would seem to be an oppor tunity for predicating the political course which he had so ably pointed out, and in which the most wise and virtuous of mankind are disposed to follow. Pitt's policy was never more clearly developed, than has the policy, which must be pursued in this country, been by the writings of our patrio tic Churchman. At a period, therefore, when Reformers ought to unite together, might not the memory of this grea man be rendered conducive to such an union ? It migl have been thought of sooner, but it is not yet too late. PORTSMOUTH-FRIDAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Swallow, schooner, formerly the Duke of Norfolk's yacht, arrived this afternoon from San Se bastian, which port she left on Tuesday last, at noon. She brings 75 invalids and three or four wounded of ficers, but not the least news ; in fact, the town is so closely invested, that no communication is held with the interior ; and all that is heard is mere rumour amid conjecture. The Legion was in high spirits, but in great distress ; it was never more efficient, but never more in want of money, necessaries, and clothing. The lines were deemed invulnerable ; but to keep them—or even the fortress—money, provisions, and clothing must be furnished. General Evans had sent General Le Marchant to London to represent the state of his forces to the British Government ; and General Godfrey, with Colonel Wilde, to Madrid, via San tander, to represent the same to the Spanish Govern ment. Respectin g Bilboa we get no news ; the pas sengers on board the Swallow heard a heavy firing in that direction for some hours after they left San Sebastian, at which place it was understood the Car lists had abandoned the siege, after losing many hun dred men in assaulting it ; but it was also understood that in a few days they had resumed operations against it. Theylhad entire possession of the river between Portugalette and Bilboa ; therefore, no supplies or assistance could be rendered to the garrison by sea. By information from Sir Charles Paget's squadron, we find that the Inconstant and Pique beat all the rest of the squadron, and that the Inconstant has a decided advantage overthe Pique. DOVER-FRIDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Up to this hour (six, P.M.), we have no news of the des cent of Mr. Green and his companions that can in the slightest degree be depended on, although there have been various reports on the subject. Had anything authentic arrived you should have heard from me. It is supposed they pursued their course all Tuesday, having fair wind and fine weather, and landed in the centre of France. Their friends in London may probably hear• from them direct, before we do on the coast. [Mr. Gye has received a letter this morning from his Agent at Paris, stating that he had received no tidings of the balloon. It is supposed, from the direction of the wind, that they have proceeded towards Germany.] DEVIZES.--THURSDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-A very unfair, and indeed untrue, statement of the revision of the list of voters for this borough has found its way into the Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette of this clay. I am anxious that a correct statement should go before the public ; but as there is no chance of any " Radical " communication being inserted in that paper, unless paid for, I must trust to your liberality to give the following contra dictio❑ to the falsehood. The Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette states that the gain to the Conservatives on the revision is eight votes. The truth, however, is, that the old voters struck off are precisely an equal number of Liberals and Tories ; and that of the new voters allowed by the Barristers there are twice as many Liberals as Tories ! If the correspondent of the Gazette denies this asser tion, I challenge hint to disprove it, which, if he attempts, I will give the names of all the old voters struck off and all the new voters allowed—and thus convince the public, by names and figures, that so far from his statement being true, that the Tories are the gainers on the cases contested before the Revising Barristers, that the truth is the Tories are the losers ; and that the Liberals have gained new voters in the proportion of 2 to 1 TRUTH. NORWICH-FRIDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Among many others, I have received a Circular from the Archdeaconry Office, in this city, respecting the Church Rates in this parish, which I forward, together with my reply. If you should think the subject worthy of a place in your Journal, you are at perfect liberty to insert them : " Norwich Archdeaconry Registry Office, " King-street, Nor. 9, 1836. " Sir—The Churchwardens of St. George's Colegate has been with me, to be advised as to the course to be pur sued with respect, in consequence of a Church Rate having been virtually refused at a Vestry meeting lately held, by reason whereof he has not the means to enable him to meet the necessary expences of the Church. " I have been furnished with the names of the persons who were on the occasion referred to, opposed to the rate ; and. amongst them, I find yours ; but if I have been mis informed, I shall be glad to have the mistake corrected. " Whilst the law of Church Rate is as it is, there is no doubt it can be enforced ; and, as matters now stand, there is no question that you, who rejected the rate asked on legal items of expense, arc liable to proceedings at law. " I have, however, advised the Churchwarden to give the parishioners another opportunity of acceding to a rate, and of considering their position. " Another Vestry meeting will shortly be called for the purpose of making a rate ; and I trust that the result will be satisfactory to all parties.—l am, Sir, " Yours, respectfully, E. STEWART.,, Bridge -street, St. George of Colegate, Nov. 11, 1836. Sir,—ln reply to a letter addressed by you to me respect ing the Church-rates of this parish, I beg to say I am not only proud to acknowledge myself one of those who opposed the rate in question, but I allow I had the honour of se conding the first motion that was ever made in this parish for that purpose ; and in adopting the line of conduct I did upon those occasions, I was influenced by a conscientious feeling that I was doing my duty. According to the laws of equity, no man has a right to pay money, no matter how small the amount, unless he receives an equivalent for the loss of his cash. Now, as I conscientiously dissent from many points of doctrine which the Established Church inculcates, I, of course receive neither benefit nor instruction from her ; consequently I re ceive no equivalent. Under such circumstances I shall at all times feel it to be my duty fearlessly, manfully, a n d openly to resist, by every constitutional means that is afforded me, the payment of Church-rates. If the Established Church cannot be upheld but by per secution, injustice, and oppression, I say, with our good old Bishop, " let it fall ;" for it evidently is not that Church which Christ, whose whole life was a most beautiful ex ample of justice, benevolence, and Christian charity, pro mised to be with, even unto the end of the world. You may have advised the Churchwarden to try his luck again, but if I mistake not there will be found a sufficient number of " honest hearts and true" in the parish of St. George of Colegate to resist successfully any further attempt that may be made to impose upon them a Church rate ; and if you know the parishioners as well as I do, you would at once see the folly of such a proceeding. As regards myself, I have " nailed my colours to the mast," till we have subdued Churchwardens and " Registry office" to boot ; and when the promised " vestry meeting" takes place I shall be at my post, and will not hesitate as to the course I am to pursue ; but will do my duty fearlessly and honestly, and will abide the consequences. The threatenings of the " Registry Office" have no effect upon me, for while I am following the dictates of my con science, I fear nor care for any man. The " Registry Office" may issue its mandates, but that will not deter me from pursuing an honest purpose ; it may shackle my body, but it cannot shackle my mind. I shall be at the meeting for the purpose of re-considering our position, and will then, if no other person is to be found, propose the adjournment of the rate myself. I am, Sir, your's, obediently, To Mr. E. Stewart. H. TAYLOR. DUBLIN-THURSDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " Quin etiam mansura dabo monumenta per cevum. A respectable meeting was this day held at the Imperial Hotel, to consider the species of testimonial to be erected to the memory of the late Dr. Doyle. Lord Cloncurry was in the Chair, and amongst those most conspicuous in promoting the object of the meeting, we observed More O'Ferrall, M.P., the Right Rev. D r . Nolan, Mr. Vigors, Sir Patrick Bellew, M.P., and several other gentlemen of rank and respectability from different parts of Ireland. The proceedings consisted of mere matter of detail, as to the kind of marble figure on which the Committee shall expend the funds in process of collection for the purpose. It appeared from the statement of Mr. More O'Ferrall, who seems to have taken peculiar interest, as well as Mr. Vigors, in perpe tuating the recollection of his distinguished friend and re spected prelate, that a sum of about 1,000/. is available. This sum, or the greater part of it, has been subscribed at two meetings held at Carlow, soon after Dr. Doyle's death, by gentlemen personally acquainted with the late bishop of that district. But it is to be regretted that steps have not been taken on a more enlarged scale, to connect the memory of this great man with some institution of per manent utility to his country. His whole life had been de voted to the moral instruction of the people of Ireland ; and the melioration of the state of abasement in which they had been placed by circumstances over which prudence or justice seemed Ito have no control for many centuries. His IRELAND. DUBLIN, NOV. 10. GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. There was a full attendance to-day. The gallery was filled with ladies. At two o'clock Laurence C. Smith, Esq., was called to the chair. The minutes of the last day's proceedings, and a great number of communications, many of them enclosing justice rent, were read by Mr. French. A letter was read from Dunkerrin, acknowledging the receipt of 101., which the General Association had forwarded to the widow of the unfortunate Fogarty, who was shot by Phillip Ryan. Mr. FRENCH informed the meeting that he had sent for an unfortunate mendicant who had been this day discharged from the custody of a Rebellion Commissioner, that the Association might see what the poor were suffering by the tithe system. So miserable was the appearance of the man that even Baron Pennefather, who is not very tender on the subject of tithes, had the man instantly discharged. Mr. S. COPPINGER said the apathy of the Reformers at the present registry was much to be regretted. Mr. FRENCH announced the receipt of the sum of 139/. 10s. from the city of Cork. The contributors were admitted members. P. PURCELL, Esq., proposed Nicholas Vigors, Esq., Sir P. Bellew, Bart., and Montesquieu Bellew, M.P., and handed in 101. as the subscription of the two latter gentlemen. Mr. VIGORS felt proud to be enabled to say, that one hundred and forty noble electors had been added to the Liberal constituency of the county of Carlow.—(Hear.) The people of Carlow were suffering the greatest persecu tion from their Conservative landlords. He felt satisfied that in Turkey the same despotism was unknown. Upwards of 2,000 human beings had been driven from their homes. Mr. O'CONNRLL entered the room. All present rose, and received him in silence. He appeared to be suffering under severe mental affliction. Mr. O'C. presented the Chair of the Catholic Association to the Chairman. Mr. O'CONNELL proposed Mr. Pollock, barrister-at-law, and several other gentlemen, who were admitted members. Mr. REDMOND suggested the necessity of preparing a small pamphlet on the subject of tithes, for the guidance of the people. Mr. O'CoNNELL said that in the course of the week he would lend his assistance to the Committee to prepare such a book, which would be found of great benefit.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL handed in 341. from the parish of Rath- ' keale, and read a list of names, whom he proposed as Members—the first in the list was the respected parish Priest ; and he considered him as the best friend of the people and of his country. He (Mr. O'Connell) then read a letter from Mr. Vim. Cripps, an English banker, en closing 51. as his first annual subscription. Mr: Cripps, in his letter said, that though a Protestant Dissenter, he would say, " down with the Church." This (said Mr. O'Connell) is not my language : I do not want any Church to he put down, but I do not approve of a Church in connection with the State.--(Cheers.) A great number o new Members were then admitted, and a large sum of money was handed in to the justice rent. Mr. FINN, M.P., proposed an individual who was seized on by the Law Church. He would point out the person. [Poor Reilly was here put up on the table. His miserable appearance excited the deep sympthy of the meeting.] Mr. Finn, however, had the pleasureato inform the meeting that even Baron Pennefather felt it was a case of great hardship, and discharged him this day. A suns of 13/. 10s. was shortly after collected for Reilly ; and he (Mr. F.) hoped that a collection would be made for him, and get him out of the power of Dean Murray, of the Established Charcb.—(Cheers.) As the poor man could only pay 2s. 6d., he proposed him as an associate. - - - Mr. O'CONNELL said, let him be made a member, and he would give him the pound.—(Loud cheers.) He consi dered this act calculated to do much service, and it would excite the most unbounded disgust for the tithe system. A subscription should be entered into, and let this be the List day of squalid wretchedness which this poor man will suffer. He moved that his case be referred to the Committee to re ceive subscriptions for him. Carried unanimously. Mr. CASSIDY addressed the meeting at length. [Quarter past four o'clock—Left sitting.] RUN UPON THY Bearics.—The Dublin Evening Post of this evening says :—" There has, for the last two days, been here a considerable run on the Agricultural Bank. But they bore it steadily—and paid off partly in gold, and partly in Bank of Ireland paper. The run, we believe, has now declined. The circumstance may be considered, upon the whole, fortunate to that Establishment, as a demonstra tion of their strength and resources." An advertisement offering 2001. for the discovery of the person or persons who circulated a placard tending to depreciate the credit of the Agricultural Bank appears in the morning papers. It bears the signature of the Lord Mayor, as one of the directors. From the same source we also learn that " there has been some run on the National Bank of Ireland ; but this too, we understand, has declined, as there can be no doubt of the ability and capital of the concern. Some sensation was created yesterday by the refusal of the Hibernian Bank to exchange the Ulster Bank notes. The truth is, however, that the Hibernian is not an agent for the Ulster Bank ; but was in the habit of changing its notes, although these notes were made payable in Belfast only. The pressure on the Money Market, generally, caused the Hiber nian Bank to adopt this course : not from any doubts as to the solvency of the Ulster Bank, but because its monies were necessary for other purposes. It was also stated that the notes of the Belfast Banking Company were also de clined. We can state, however, that we received at the Hibernian Bank, this day, nine or ten pounds in Bank of Ireland Notes, in exchange for those of the Belfast Bank ing Company. There are some persons dropping into the Bank of Ireland for gold." :THREE O'CLOCK.—COURT or EXCIIEQUER.—We have just heard that Mr. O'Loghlen declines the office of Baron of the Exchequer.—Dub/in Evening Post. CITY or DUBLIN RLGISTRY. The destructive: are outmanceuvering the Reformers, some of whom evince an apathy that is absolutely disgraceful. I'Ve copy the three following paragraphs from the or gan of the Irish faction—the crest-fallen and mortified Mail :—Mr. O'Loghlen has not yet taken his seat on the Exchequer Bench ; neither have the necessary documents arrived preparatory to the swearing in of Mr. Richards as ' Attorney, or of Mr. Woulfe as Solicitor-General. There is a "screw loose" somewhere ; and we have heard of some very strong expressions in a high quarter, and used to the First Lord of the Treasury upon this inundation of Papists into all the public offices in Ireland. It is now rumoured that Lord Southwell is to have tha star and ribbon of St. Patrick vacant by the death of Lord Fingal. As a mater of course a Roman Catholic must be the object of selection with the O'Connell Govern ment, and perhaps Lord Southwell is as little objectien- able on the score of politics as any other that could hare been selected. It has been communicated to us, that Mr. Hammersley, the magistrate who signed the committal for Ryan, did so on the distinct application of the Chief Constable who brought Mr. Ryan before him in custody, under the Co roner's warrant. Mr. Hammersley, conceiving that he was bound in law to comply with the requisition, imagined that he would best perform that which he was led to think a duty, by copying into his committal, and from that most extraordinary document, a production of compound igno rance, the very words used in the Coroner's warrant. Mr. Hammersley is a gentleman of high honour and Conser vative principles, and the bailing of Ryan had his fullest concurrence. MUNICIPAL MISCHIEF.—Nove is the time that those " chartered nuisances," designated Irish Corporations, as semble in holes and corners to elect the functional ies that, bereft of the esteem and confidence of the people, are to be entrusted with the administration of justice for an annual period.—Pilot. FIRE.--Between two and three o'clock yesterday morn ing, the neighbourhood of Ormond-quay, with the principal portion of that part of the city, was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm and consternation by tho breaking out of one of the most destructive conflagrations that has for some time past has been witnessed in this city. The fire originated in the house of Mr. M'lntosh, music seller, No. 11, Lower Ormond-quay. The fire immediately communi cated to the house of Messrs. Roberston, laceman, No. 12, which, in a very short time, also became a prey to the flames. In the course of an hour a party of police, toge ther with the Castle guard, arrived, who acted under the direction of Mr. Sheriff Veevers. The engines of the Atlas, Manchester, Royal Exchange, and West of E ng l an d com panies were procured ; but before they could be got into play both houses were nearly consumed. The engines were admirably served by parties of the Coldstream Guards and of the 95th Regiment, which, no doubt, saved the adjoining houses from destruction ; as it is, No. 13, the house of Mr. Franklin, oil cloth manufacturer, has suffered considerable injury. At five o'clock the fronts of the houses (11 and 12) fell into the street with a terrible crash. The engines were at work up to twelve o'clock yesterday, when the embers became extinguished.

The substance of the followin g dipl oma ti c s t a t emen t, copied from the Moniker, is well known in London, and the leading points have ben publisied ; but we give it en tire, as it is now official :-- The Spanish Ambassador, Count Campuzano de Reihn, has addressed the following declaration, dated 3 esterday, to the Moniteur : " The Spanish Government having ken informed of the mode adopted by its special commissioner, M. 'Mateo Durou, for the payment of the half-year's dividends on the Spanish Foreign Debt, due on the Ist of November, has been unable to ratify the same, M. Durou not having conformed to the instructions given to him on the 7th of October, and which are as follows Observant of the principles of honour and good faith which have at all times distinguished the Spanish nation, the Government of her Majesty the Queen Regent has unhesitatingly proclaimed, under the most critical cir cumstances ever presented by the history of the country, that religious respect for engagements contracted with the creditors of the State, whether national or foreign, is as sacred for that Government, in its essence, as the exigencies of the army combating for the country, the Constitutional throne, and liberty founded on the law. To obtain the ac complishment of these views, and to embrace these two grand objects, the Government proposed to her Majesty the Royal ordinances of the 26th and 30th of August. Those of the 26th of August had for their object to give a greater impulse to the war by augmenting the army, and by pro curing for the public Treasury the funds produced from the lodgments effected by such as purchased exemption from active military service. The ordinance of the 30th of August afforded the Government a powerful assistance to enable it to meet the expenses required for the credit of the nation. Not satisfied with these measures, the Government wished to provide against all the eventualities and embar rassments that might be created by the circumstances of the moment. Meditating on the possibility of realizing such other means as might present a guarantee for their easy success, the Government took measures to procure them abroad, and thus to cover the deficit that might result from any insufficiency or delay in the realization of its means at home. When every circumstance por tended a fortunate result, certain internal events oc curred to paralyze for a moment the union of the na tional resources, and to restrain the spirit of specula tion abroad. Certain journals, remarkable for their habi tual circumspection, became at that moment the organs of intelligence more or less exact, some of it entirely false, and all of it unfavourable to the Spanish cause. If, happily, the triumph of that cause cannot be injured by erroneous opinions, their influence was nevertheless pernicious, inas much as it paralyzed good wishes, and imposed an exces sive degree of reserve on those whose fortunes might be compromised. Government has learned this truth from sad experience, and has acquired the conviction that under existing circumstances it would be in vain to make expen sive efforts, which could serve only to augment to no pur pose the amount of its sacrifices. Any engagement that Government might, in the present state of things, be in clined to make, would, moreover, be attended with the in convenience of weakening a resource, from which abun dant means may be derived when the impressions of the moment have subsided. The creditors of the State are the parties most interested in the adoption of this wise and provident course, for should the scrupulous observance of such a course produce delay in the first instance, the re sources which the force of circumstances may hereafter create will not be destroyed. The Spanish Government con sequently declares that it does not expect to be able to raise the funds necessary for paying in Paris and London the interest of the Spanish debt, at the moment of its be coming due on the Ist of November. But it is offered and hoped that the creditors confiding in the good faith of the Spanish Government, will exchange the cou pons, the amount of which they were to receive, for Spanish treasury debentures (desventures) payable in two instal ments of six and twelve months, and bearing interest at five per cent. per annum. The Government enters into the most sacred engagement, and gives the most solemn as surance that it will anticipate the payment as far as may be permitted by the necessities of the public Treasury, which will be provided for by all possible means, in order to pre vent any postponement of the period for announcing the conversion of the debentures into money. The Govern ment is the party most interested in the faithful fulfilment of this promise, not only because the credit of the nation depends upon it, but also because Government itself pledges its reputation, which it is desirous of preserving inviolate, both at home and abroad. The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Her Catholic Majesty informs all the holders of the Spanish debt th a t th e promises con tained in the announcement signed by M. Mateo Durou, and dated London, October 15, with respect to the pay ment of the interests due on the Ist of November, are, and remain, null and void. The Spanish Government will take the measures necessary fer commencing on the Ist of December the operation of exchanging the coupons for Spanish Treasury debentures payable in two instalments, and bearing interest at five per cent." ' HARDY'S MONUMENT. We were much gratified in yesterday viewing, in the Bunhill-fields Cemetery, an elegant and beautiful monument placed on the grave of Thomas Hardy, to perpetuate his memory. It stands about 2.5 feet to the north of the main eastern gate, and 16 feet from the east wall. It was de signed, we understand, by Mr. John Papworth, the cele brated architect ; and the epitaph was written by Mr. Alexander Galloway, the intimate private and public friend of the deceased. Thomas Hardy was most truly, in the language of the epitaph, " a plain and upright man—a steady and inflexible patriot." We knew him to be as sin cere and admirable in private life, as he was honest and ex. cellent in his public exertions. We have already given that portion of the epitaph that appears on the eastern side ; but having received from Mr. Galloway a lithographic copy of the drawing of the monument and epitaph, which we shall highly treasure, we now, for the gratification of our readers, insert the epitaph entire. On the eastern side of the monument is the following short history of his public life To the Memory of THOMAS HARDY, Born March 3d, 1751, and died 11 th October, 1832, in the 82d year of his age. He was a plain and upright man, a steady and inflexible Patriot ; One of the three, who, in 1792, commenced the formation of the celebrated London Corresponding Society, For the Promotion of Radical Reform in the Commons House of Parliament. He was appointed Secretary to that Society in the same year, and filled the office with diligence and ability, until his arrest in May, 1794, On a Charge of High Treason, When he was committed to the Tower, separated from his Wife and Family for six months ; Subjected to a nine days' Trial at the Old Bailey, and triumphantly Acquitted by An Honest and Independent Jury, on the sth of Nov., 1794. By which event the corrupt and sanguinary Ministry of Mr. Pitt _ was defeated, and a brighter Era commenced in the Political Condition of this Country. And on the western side is the following correct critique on his public efforts : THOMAS HARDY Lived to see a great part of his laudable and enligtened objects Fulfilled by the passing of the REFORM BILL. Which will ultimately lead to good and happy government. His memory w ill be cherished by every Friend of Freedom, Piety, and moral Rectitude; It will be recorded in the history of this great country, That by his excellent conduct through a long life he demon strated that The most Humble in society, When guided by Integrity, and aided by Perseverance and Judgment, Are sure to add to the happiness and advance the Liberties of Mankind. At the top of the monument are the words " Public duty, private worth ;" and at the bottom, " Placed on the sth of November, 1836, by A. G., J. 8., and, R. T." We recommend the friends of liberty to view this chaste and ap propriate testimony to the public conduct and private worth of Thomas Hardy. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Mr. COVENTRY sat alone at the Court-house, Marylebonc-lane, and proceeded with the lists of the parish of St. Marylebonc, which contained the name o f severa l were objected to as ali ens . I n ono case, foreigners who that of G. Rosette, who had admitted to the rate-collector that he was a foreigner, Mr. Coventry disallowed the claim ; but with respect to the other claimants alleged to be fo reigners, the Learned Barrister held that i n th e a b sence o f evidence proving alienship, their names should not be ex punged. The only other case was t h at of Mr. Turner, who claimed as a lodger paying 10/. a year rent. On ex amination it a'ppeared that th e c l a i mant mere l y held an apartment in the house of another person who was rated for the whole house. Mr. COVENTRY said he had doubts on the subject. Tile Court then adjourned till to-morrow. GREENWICH. Messrs. BROCKMAN and CHAMBERS sat together yester day to hear the arguments for an d aga i ns t the persons claiming to vote in respect o f h ouses i n h a bit e d by them in the Royal Hospital, Greenwich ; Victualling-office Dept ford ; and the Dock-yard, Woolwich. The Learned Barristers, after hearing very long argu ments on both sides, said they would give their decision to morrow (this day). The Court then adjourned.
